In May 1886 eight men in The city Of
Chicago were leading the eight-houz
movement SO formidably that it was on
the eve of success; brutal, capitalistic,
police despotism attacked q pesceable
meeting; an unknown man threw q bomb;
a venal press, packed jury and rampant
perjury convicted the eight and sentenced
seven to die. They lie in Chicago's bas-
tile awaiting leaden-footed Justice to
grant them new trial. All Americans
should read both sides of this case. Most
of you have read the lies Of the capitalist
press. Be just now and also read the
story of the defendants. Their speeches
at their trial can be had at this Office;
price 6 cents, by mail 6 cents; their brief
on appeal stating the whole case, price

F.ru,,ure At Your Own Price.


For several weeks past We have been
selling our goods for much less than value.
We have sold an immense quantity but
still have a very large stock. We are
promised possession of our new building
positively by the twentieth and will from
this date give still lower prices on all
kinds of Furniture.
We do not want to take single article
from our present stock and will accept a
reasonable price for any desired article
We can easily afford to sell at less than
cost rather than risk the damage necessary
in moving and will gladly suffer all such
losses. Don't buy before getting our
prices. You can afford to buy now
whether in immediate want or not.
